People who are pro-life had been using pro-abortion instead of pro-choice in order to change the rhetoric of the debate. To sensationalize it more.

Okay, fine.

In that case, I’ll change it too.

Instead of pro-life, I’ll use:

Anti-choice

Anti-freedom

Pro-chattel

Pro-brood mare

Anti-woman

Misogynistic

Pro-male dominance

Pro-male superiority

Anti-self determination (if you female)

People are saying the focus should remain on the economy and that this is a distraction issue.

I disagree. The economy goes up and down and responds to WAY to many world-wide variables and, in the end, the government can only do so much in response to it. To truly have any governmental influence on the economy, the government will need to have more influence and control in the business world than the business world wants to allow.

On the other hand, women’s right and freedoms in a male dominant society will ALWAYS be an issue and far more under the influence of government policy than the economy will ever be. Therefore, it truly is a more vital and pertinent issue for us than just the economy and jobs.

And if you do not think we are still in a male dominated society, I think the last year couple of years have reminded us that have gotten complacent. We thought we came a long way even if we didn’t have true pay equality yet. But the GOP is clearly trying to push us back and restore more male control of the most fundamental female issues. We need to start fighting back or we will continue to lose ground.

A group of men should not be controlling women’s reproductive rights. By letting them say ‘no abortions’ is sending a message that a person who doesn’t exist is more important than a woman who already exists. It says a woman has no value beyond her ability to make babies. It says that it’s okay for women to risk death on the change that another life might be created. It says that it is okay to for people to have children they don’t want or for whom they can’t provide. In a world where rapists have successfully sued for visitation rights, they want to force women to have babies that may force them into keeping contact with the person who raped them.

This is unacceptable. Women should have the right to choose. They should have the right of self-determination. People who base their pro-‘life’ beliefs on religious believes should NOT be forcing that religious based view on the rest of society.
